Ferjani Sassi: Zamalek, Al Ahly fans await Egypt-Tunisia clash

Tunisia midfielder Ferjani Sassi sees that Carthage Eagles encounter against Egypt in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers is an anticipated game for Zamalek and Al Ahly fans.

Sassi has been representing Zamalek’s colours since last summer when he joined the Whites from Saudi outfit Al Nassr. He has been one of the pillars of the team throughout the first half of the season and was usually entrusted by Zamalek boss Christian Gross.

Egypt will line up against Tunisia in the fifth round of the AFCON qualifiers as each seek the leadership of the group after they both secured qualification.

“The atmosphere is brilliant in Egypt ahead of the game between Egypt and Tunisia. Al Ahly and Zamalek fans are waiting for the match,” Sassi told Tunisian Nessma TV.

“Each of the two teams possess three players in Egypt and same goes to Tunisia, therefore it’s anticipated by the fans. It will be a special game for Zamalek fans, we [Tunisia] expect to deliver a great game.”
